As per your request...
1 = ichi (itch)
2 = ni (knee)
3 = san (sun)
4 = shi (shee)
5 = go (go)
6 = roku (rock)
7 = shichi (shitch)
8 = hachi (hatch)
9 = kyu (cue)
10 = ju (jew)
Then 11 = 10 + 1 = ju ichi
12 = 10 + 2 = ju ni
...And 20 = 2 x 10 = ni ju
21 = (2 x 10) + 1 = ni ju ichi
So 99 = (9 x 10) + 9 = kyu ju kyu
100 = hyaku
101 = 100 + 1 = hyaku ichi
200 = 2 x 100 = ni hyaku
Q: How do you say "911" in Japanese?
